11 months ago I would be curious to see if this is an issue with older graphics drivers, specifically 22.5.1. I don't recommend trying it, though, since there's a decent chance it'll brick your PC like it did to mine. But AMD made major updates to how it handles OpenGL in the 22.7.1 driver last year, and performance in VS using that and newer drivers is 100% in the garbage. I've been going back and forth with them on this issue, but no resolution so far.

Description
I discovered when turning on Resizeable BAR on my Gigabyte B550 GAMING X V2 motherboard with my AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU and observed how performance completely degrades on ultra high settings or any settings in general. Even medium.
This issue maybe related to this part of the wiki on Framerate and Performance or another issue reported.
7. There's a known issue on Radeon graphics cards - including high end Radeon cards - about GPU availability, more like memory lock contention. The issue is normally only seen on max graphics settings (with shadows enabled) and is most obvious when moving across the map so that a lot of new map loads, there can be noticeable frame rate drops and stutter. Game version 1.15.7 and above has a change that slightly improves this, we hope to do even more to work around it in future versions, but ultimately it is a hardware/GPU issue. For anyone bothered by the issue, a solution is to ease the pressure on the GPU by turning down some of the top end settings (SSAO and Shadows, or reduce the MaxFPS) so that the GPU has some idle time each frame.
